WATERED LANDS.
Provisions of the Lease Law as Applicable
to the Settler and the Cattlemau.
TON GREEN COUNTY, TEX, j!
To the Editor OF the Gazette

TON GREEN COUNTY, TEX, Jan. "a, 1857.
To the Editor OF the Gazette
| notice in your issue of the 22d inst.
3 communication from Ballinger, in the
shape of an inquiry, stating that several
settlers having squated on watered lands
leased by cattle firms or their members
individually, were being sued and the
land seque ~trated, etc, and desiring to
know whether these men should be kept
off the school lands. As happen to know
the source of this communication and
myself am one of the parties that sues
under such circumstances, | beg leave for
q little space in order to put the question
fairly before the public. The last legis-
lature withdrew, a. We all know, the
watered lands from market, leaving them,
however, subject to lease. The land
board leased these Watered sections to
the applicants under occupation at 8
minimum basis Of 20 cents. The fact
that the land was not in the market,
caused q good many to lease these lands
at these eXorbitant rates.
The parties referred TO were warned
kindly not 10 move on the lands, as there
existed at present NO law which would
guarantee them peaceful possession. Not
Withstanding these warnings, they moved
on these lands, although the board re-
fused their applications. The result was
sequestratlon of the land by the lease
holders. The lessee having secured this
land, and paying therefor large rental of
twenty cents, could not be expected to
peaceably give up his lease hold, as the
board and the state would hold him re-
sponsible for the lease money. This is
not question of sympathy, but merely
one of justice and equity. On one side
a lease hold on land not subject to actual
settlement. on the other hand the settler
having not even the sanction of the land
law and his tender having been refused.
Of course, | will not presume to say VIVA
the Legislature should do at present;
this is only a question of the courts.
| Tnere is not solitary instance known to
NE where settlers have been kept off
the school lands that were dry
and subject to location, by force
or Otherwise, 70 matter whether
they were in mans pasture or not, and
he has 81 ways been made welcome, as
long as he did not turn more stock loose
than the section he had taken up could
reasonably support. | have in my pas
turesfrOm four to five actual settlers, who
have stock, say from twenty-five to sixty
head per section; they have free access to
ny water, obtain the benefit of my fence
and are not mOlested, an equitable under
standing II absence OF law having regu-
lated the mutual relations of the pasture
owner and settler. Numerous other pas
ture owners are doing tae same thing.
therefore deprecate any attempt from
any source whatever which has for an OBJ
ject the influencing of public opinion
against men who are engaged in the hon
orable and Legitimate pursuit of cattle
raising and are paying heavily for this
privilege. Respectfully,

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
MONTAGUE, TEX, Jan. 23.-The re-
cent rain has been Of great benefit to the
wheat crop in this section, and the pros
pect at this time is very fiattering for a
good crop. While the rain was not suffi-
cieut to thoroughly wet the earth, il was
sufficient TO keep the wheat growing, and
the pleasant weather which followed was
fine on the cattle and other stock. Per
haps not in several years have cattle
looked so well ct this time of year es tn Y
are st present. 1t is almost al assured
fact that cattle Will go through without
scarcely any loss. Should the wheat crop
make good yield and cattle bring fair
price, in the spring people will be in a
great deal better shape than was ex-
pected; and good crop next season will
bring them out eli right

AN OLD SENSATION REyAMPED.

Tho Report That Bell Obtained His reIe-
phone Patent by Collision is Put Into
Circulation at Boston.
Boston, MASS, Jan. 20.-Speculators
and scientific men are excited over the
news from Washington about the changes
alleged to have been made in Bells origi-
nal application for the telephone patent.
The charge that underground tnforma-
ton about Gray's caveGt led to these
changes, in February, 1876, has led
10 q careful examination of the certified
copy CT the application, now on file here
in the office of the circuit court
As g result, some that have seen Or heard
OF the copy, il the light of the Washing
ton news, are not selling Bell Telephone
stock long / IS clear, from the hand
writing, that ct one time tAe original
application had neither blot nor erasure.
At some later time-the question il,
when :-sCmebody vent over the lengthy
document and made ABOUT twenty
eresures and interlineatiOns. The general
sense was not altered, bat suhstitutions
seem to have been made with the idea of
exact definition. Every word substituted
is written in pencil instead of ink.
The anti-BelI lawyers place muchimpOr-
lance on these changes, and say that their
opponents OveTreached themselves IN the
attempt to give an impression of honesty
by having even the erssures and substi
tutlOns OF the application appear in the
copy brought on here for evidence in the
big suit. On the other baud, the Bell
men say it is big bluff, and that the
changes were made when il was perfectly
legal and honest.

A BLOODY TIME EXPECTED.
Trouble Between tho Settlers and Cattle

Special to the Gazette.
TAHLEQUAH, l. T., Jan. 24.-News has
reached here thst the cattlemen Of the
Cherokee strip are having quite rumpus
with the settlers along the borders.
These settlers get mad because the men
on the strip will not allow their stock to
run in that country unauthorized and
keep them driven out To retaliate the
boTdermen are burning the range ell along
the line and elsewhere. As a matter of
protection the stockmen have stationed
pickets out with orders TO handle the
burners roughly whenever caught setting
fire to the grass in the Territory.
The cattlemen say the burning
of the range will ruin them, and that to
prevent it they propose 10 make it hot for
the persons engaged in burning up their
grass. Some trouble has already &C.
Cured OH account of this, pretty nearly
resulting IN 3 killing or two. The stock
men are worked up and have given notice
that they will stand no more OF this burn
ing business.

DURFD THE HARDsHIPs OF THE WAR.
From The Weekly Tribune.
To-day THE TRIBUNE presents to its readers,
below one of the most interesting groupsof letters
which it has received from the Posts of the G.
A. R. in response to its circular letter Of inquiry.
When the war broke out the Union volunteers
did not know all the hardships they were to en-
counter in the field, but they went gladly. After
the war was over and they returned to their
homes a fresh surprise awaited them in the hard
ships they were forced TO encounter in civil life,
which they would have avoided il they had stayed
at home. The volunteers speak intelligently in
giving their reasons in favor OF PENSIONS ana
their letters are we'll worth the perusal Of every
one. The braclxeted figures refer TO The TRIBUsE's
questions, as to whether the Posts favored III
the Dependent Pensions bill; (2) service pension;
t3 the vetoes of private pension bills last winter:
t4) any legislation not referred to; and (5'
the number of worthy veterans in the local pOw
houses.
